Event 4: Crane Collects

$500 +$60 No Limit Hold'em 

Down to 13 tables now as they approach then end of level 8 (300/600 blinds, 75 antes).

Russell Crane (Howell, NJ) won a No Limit event at Foxwoods in March ($37k), then won the Borgata Spring Open Championship in April (almost $277k), then won the Borgata Deep Stack Double Play event in August ($148k). 

 Russell Crane

He's on quite a heater with three wins for over $460,000 already this year.  He's trying to continue that streak here today.

Russell was in the cutoff and tangled with "DL" on the button.  On the turn, the board read 9 5 2 6 and Russell checked.  DL bet 2,775 and got check-raised to 9,050.  After spending some time in the tank, DL opted to fold and Russell collected the pot, chipping up to ~25k.

Despite surrendering that pot, DL is still the chip leader with about 135k.
